Journey To The End Of The Night by Shazbot [TKC], EvilMoFo [TKC]

June 19th, 2006 8:09 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: A pursuit across San Francisco in 5 parts, concluding with a bonfire at the beach.

The city spreads out before you. Rushing from point to point, lit by the slow strobe of fluorescent buses and dark streets. Stumbling into situations for a stranger's signature. Fleeing unknown pursuers, breathing hard, admiring the landscape and the multitude of worlds hidden in it. Burning everything at a bonfire on the beach.

For one night, drop your relations, your work and leisure activities, and all your usual motives for movement and action, and let yourself be drawn by the attractions of the chase and the encounters you find there.

No bikes, no cars, just feet and public transportation.

Document your experience.

going into this, shazbot and i didnt know much about muni... that soon changed
i had my normal load of crap in my pockets (see my wallet contents task results)
i also had a (1.5l) bottle of water in hand and shazbot was carrying 2 more bottles in his backpack (one was half full) ... by the end i drank 2 of them

sadly we didint catch a few parts of the rules and instructions:
we didnt see the addresses of the checkpoints until on the way to #2
we didnt get the part that chasers had a time limit while runners did not until going to the bonfire


for the sprint, i was 3rd before people started to slow down (and so did i to let shazbot catch up)
as everyone ran through the ground level of ec4, we ran to the upstairs of ec4
we asked a security guard how to get to the first checkpoint, we then went downstairs and got on the 1 california bus
within the next 2 or 3 stops, about half of the other competitors got the bus
we were going up the hill (beside the fairmont) and there was a suv in the way, everyone ran out of the bus at this point and got their signatures

shazbot and i then walked more than we should have and then caught a bus going to market
we then transfered to a bus that didnt go all the way to checkpoint #2 so we walked a few blocks and finally got there
after this we walked many blocks and got on a bus that took us to geary
then we walked 4 or so blocks in waiting for the bus

we then got off a stop before the one at checkpoint #3 .... with a purple guy ....
both the purple guy and i were unsure of the rules about mini safe zones (apperently it was only the shelter and i thought til the road after the stop, and the zombie didnt know better ... wooo)
so shazbot ran ahead and was on the other side of the street, as the zombie was looking up the muni dmz rule i mouthed run to shazbot
shazbot took off and the zombie soon followed

i cautiously walked toward the checkpoint and i came upon both the zombie and shazbot standing in the street, the zombie then said he would let me go if i would tell him were the others went ... i forget how but he then left shazbot and i alone
shazbot said he would walk with me to get folk that came up to us... we went to the checkpoint and as i walked out i realized he was tagged in the street of a dmz
after meeting the zombie again and a phone call, shazbot became blue once again

we got to a bus stop that would get us to either checkpoint #4 or #5 (we were unsure if we would go out of order) and someone pointed out the 10:45 time limit in the instructions
we then gave it up for the night and headed for the bonfire

after some time at the bonfire we got on an n judah muni train and went home

i slept 12 hours that night and spent 10 hours resting when i got up.....
